LOL i have one too. I commuted in my rwd R32 Skyline for 9 years (not in snow). 2 years back i sold the skyline and bought her meaner sister Maleficent (1991 GTR). Commuted with her for 18 months and came to the realization that she won't last long doing
that, with wear and tear, or an accident on a rare (on the USA) chassis that is going on 27 years old. So i bought a resurrected 96 G20 from an ambitious young guy for too much money but i love the car. Pearl white, black leather, sr20ve with some go
fast goodies, 2-1/2"exhaust, 16 enkeis, dark tint and the rest stock. Perfect! The VE liked to consume a bit of oil when twisted hard often, which i did.... pretty sure i starved her around my favorite 270 degree banked interchange. Rod knock.... DOH!
So i do what we do. Ordered up a used jdm avenir SR20DET.... mo better. Wife could accuse me of doing that on purpose....

<div>I replaced my G20t with the Beige Transportation Appliance (BTA) in 2011 because I had decided I wanted to get something with under 100k again that required less maintenance due to stuff wearing out, and my grandfather's insanely low-mileage and well-maintained
2004 Accord became available and it was So Not Me but too good to say no to for the price (I bought it for my budget rather than what it was worth) so I bought it and sold the G20 to a friend, who drove it for many of his grad-school years until it became
too high-maintenance for him at 230k+ miles and it was scrapped under that California scheme. He is not a car person, but he really enjoyed driving it. In 2014 I went on a 3-week road trip in the west with the BTA and hated the damn automatic and lack of practicality
and have been scheming ever since to replace it with something that is more fun/interesting and has a clutch pedal and, ideally, has a liftgate. Or, if it's a nice W124 wagon, no clutch pedal is fine.

In that vein, I saw this very nice-looking P10 G20t on Portland CL today:<br>

<br>
</div>
And this made me think, "I miss my G20." and "why don't I sell the BTA and just get another G20t and I will still not have a hatchback/wagon but it will at least be more fun, have a stick and I know how to maintain it." Nice P10 ts are impossible to find. I
don't know what the mileage on this one is (I wrote the seller to ask some questions) but it seemed worth sharing.
